His letter possibly did not reach him as his friend is still inquiring about a telescope for Lima.
[Responding to WH's 1845-8-21], JH states that he has not yet received the information needed from [William] Simms. Has sent a further communication to Simms.
Many thanks for the trouble he has taken over the matter of the telescope for Lima. His own son Joseph is a candidate for the chair of botany at Edinburgh and would be grateful for a testimonial.
